From the xzgrep manpage: xzgrep invokes grep(1) on files which may be either uncompressed or compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1).
I see no reason to fix this since an utility with the desired functionality already exists - xzgrep. If you really want zgrep to handle this, edit /usr/bin/zgrep and change: case $i in *.bz2) uncompress=bzip2 ;; *) uncompress=gzip ;; esac to: case $i in *.bz2) uncompress=bzip2 ;; *.xz) uncompress=xz ;; *.lzma) uncompress=lzma ;; *) uncompress=gzip ;; esac Wojtek -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

xzgrep works though.
For the same reason that you don't have a "bzgrep" and a "gzgrep" in addition zu "zgrep", having a "xzgrep" doesn't solve the problem, especially when consigering that you might have a mixture of compressed files (older openSUSE used gzip, later openSUSE used bzip2, and recent openSUSE uses lzma to compress syslog (and other)). To the real bug was to intoduce a new compression while not adjusting zgrep (IMHO). So I think the solution in comment #2 is the preferred one. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
